How to Install Taoglas Genesis MA241

• Choose a clean, dry, and flat mounting surface on the interior or exterior of the deployment area. Ensure the surface is free from dust, oil, or moisture to maximize adhesive strength.
• Peel away the backing film from the adhesive pad on the MA241 and align the antenna to avoid obstructions that could block the signal path. Position it where the cable can be routed unobtrusively.
• Press firmly on the mounting surface for 20–30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. Apply even pressure across the entire adhesive area to promote good adhesion and long-term reliability.
• Route the 2-meter RF cable away from sharp edges, heat sources, and high-movement areas. Use cable management accessories or ties if needed to keep cables secure and protected.
• Connect the RF cable to your cellular gateway or IoT gateway’s antenna port. Hand-tighten only to avoid damaging the connector.
• If NFC provisioning is required, bring a compatible NFC-enabled device into proximity with the MA241’s NFC tag and follow the device prompts to load configuration profiles or asset data.
• Test the installation by powering up the system and validating signal strength, data throughput, and stability across the expected use cases (vehicle transit, stationary monitoring, etc.).
